Ford Recalls Nearly 423,000 Vehicles over Windshield Wiper Issue
Dealers will inspect and replace the wiper arms free of charge after Ford said the defect could reduce visibility and raise crash risk.
- Ford Motor Co. is recalling 422,613 vehicles, including 2021-2023 Lincoln Navigator and Ford Expedition SUVs and 2022-2023 F-Series Super Duty trucks, due to potentially faulty windshield wipers.
- Documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration show a latch retention plate defect may cause windshield wipers to operate erratically, cease functioning, or detach entirely from vehicles.
- Although there were no related crashes, Ford noted more than 1,500 warranty reports and 11 field reports; the failure reduces driver visibility and increases crash risk.
- Beginning April 13, 2026, Ford will notify owners of the recall, and dealerships will provide free inspections and replacements for affected wiper arms under recall number 26S24.
- Earlier this year, Ford recalled nearly 120,000 vehicles in the U.S. due to cracked engine block heaters, while Canada recalled 300,000 vehicles over the same fire risk.
